SIC SAWET grant to Putting Plus – On 17 August 2014, Ms Twaddell asked South Ayrshire Council (the Council) for information about any grants or public money awarded to two companies operating a putting green. The Council disclosed the amounts awarded, including an award from the South Ayrshire Waste Environment Trust (SAWET). The Council told Ms Twaddell that it did not hold more information about the SAWET grant application because SAWET was an independent organisation. Following a review, Ms Twaddell remained dissatisfied and applied to the Commissioner for a decision.
The Commissioner found that, for the purposes of the EIRs, the Council did not hold information about the SAWET grant application. However, the Commissioner also found that the Council had failed to comply in full with the EIRs in responding to Ms Twaddell’s information request.
